Ghana is perceived as a market of growing interest, supported by improvements in economic stability and international credibility. The Ghanaian government has a clear vision of becoming a country that produces more than it consumes and exports value-added goods, rather than just raw materials.

The following are the strategic sectors that will receive a significant boost in 2026:

_
Agribusiness

• The objective is to transform agriculture into a modern and mechanized commercial sector, focusing on the creation of agroindustrial enclaves for production, processing and distribution.
• The National Policy for the Integral Development of the Oil Palm (2026-2032) (“red gold”) will be implemented, with the objective of expanding 100,000 hectares of new plantations and boosting refining and processing.
• Seven new agroindustrial processing plants will be put into operation for products such as yams, fish, poultry, cashew nuts, rice, shea butter, and palm kernel oil.
• Two new cashew processing plants will be built.

_
Industry and Manufacturing

• Support will be provided for the establishment of three new garment factories in the East, Central and Eastern Bono regions, designed to operate under the 24-Hour Economy program.
• The export of non-ferrous scrap metals and raw rubber will be restricted to ensure that these raw materials are destined for domestic processors to support value chains and component manufacturing (including automotive and machinery).
• The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has a mission to lead the transition from the export of raw gold to refined gold and is working to establish a “Gold Village” as a continental hub for jewelry and export of high-value gold crafts.

Energy and Infrastructure

• Construction will begin in 2026 on a 1,200 megawatt state-owned thermal power plant to take advantage of the additional gas supply.
• The Big Push Infrastructure Program (with an investment of USD 10 billion) will focus on strategic roads, bridges and logistics corridors, including the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
